Horsedrawn Tram

Ride the historic Horse Drawn Tram across The Causeway to Granite Island. The Tramway commenced operation in 1894 and is one of two remaining in the world that operate a daily service.

Meet our beautiful Clydesdales at their day yard and at the station for a great photo opportunity. Each of our six working horses share working shifts of four or five return trips each or approximately two and a half to three hours after which they are given a feed of chaff and grain then spend the time dozing under the pines or being petted by admirers.

You can learn some of the history of the Tramway, The Causeway and the region from the photo displays inside the trams. The replica trams were built in 1986, based on the original design, but extended by two windows and given extra headroom. They weigh 4.8 tonnes each and use roller bearings to minimise rolling effort. A single tram driver can roll one out of the barn on their own! A working Clydesdale weighs between 800 to 1000kg, but only needs to use 80kg of weight to start the tram rolling.

You may purchase a return ticket (return on any tram throughout the day) or ride oneway and make a leisurely stroll the other.

Climb the boardwalk stairs to the highest point on the island for spectacular views of Victor Harbor and Encounter Bay. Explore the scenery and many other vantage points on the walking trail around the island.

The Tramway operates every day, except for Christmas Day (weather permitting). Visit www.horsedrawntram.com.au for information about fares and running times.

Best Spots for Whale Sightings in Victor Harbor

There are many reasons why watching in Victor Harbor is popular. During whale season there are several ways to see the whales passing by or basking in our turquoise waters.

To spot whales from the land, here are the best whale-watching vantage points:

You can also stop by the South Australia Whale Centre or jump on their Facebook Page to check the most recent sightings in the area. Check out their interactive exhibits and activities while you’re visiting.

If you haven’t had any luck spotting whales from the shore, don’t worry. The best whale sightings in Victor Harbor happen from the sea! Hop on board The Big Duck Boat Tours and go on The Southern Ocean Adventure, departing at the end of the causeway on Granite Island. The tour takes you to inaccessible islands and areas of coastline where you can admire the spectacular views and spot seals, sea lions, dolphins and whales in the wild. Keen bird watchers can also spot sea birds fishing the surrounding waters. The tour operators will also give you valuable insights into these wonderful marine creatures.

Whale Season in Victor Harbor

Typically, whale season in Victor Harbor runs from late May to October when the whales migrate to the warmer, sheltered waters of Encounter Bay to socialise, court, and raise their calves before heading back down south to Antarctica. This creates the perfect excuse for a winter getaway to the region.

Visit the SA Whale Centre for a whale watching map or download the map or full brochure.

The site has evidence of canoe and shield trees of Aboriginal tribal activity many hundreds of years ago. We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which Urimbirra Wildlife Park stands and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.

                                                                                                                                            Urimbirra gives you the chance to see more than 70 species of Australian fauna in their natural surroundings. Amidst giant old gum trees, native animals such as kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, emus, dingoes and wombats may be viewed. Whilst on the lake, pelicans, spoonbills, black swans, egrets and Cape Barren geese may be readily seen. The paths through the park allow you to see the animals at close range, and a leisurely walk through the 16-hectare site is a photographer’s delight.

                                                                                                                                            The SteamRanger Heritage Railway operates a number of different heritage steam and diesel hauled tourist trains between Mt Barker in the Adelaide Hills, up over the crest of the southern Mt Lofty Ranges, down to Strathalbyn and on through the coastal holiday towns of Goolwa and Port Elliot to the tourist resort town of Victor Harbor.

                                                                                                                                            Trains operate on up to 140 days a year and are manned by volunteers from the Australian Railways Historical Society, who are also responsible for maintenance of the rail line and the heritage locomotives and carriages.

                                                                                                                                            We will guarantee a great day out for you, your family or your colleagues.

                                                                                                                                            The Cockle Train travels along the oldest steel railed railway in Australia. The 30 minute journey joins Goolwa near the mouth of the mighty River Murray to the bustling tourist centre of Victor Harbor

                                                                                                                                            Between Victor Harbor and Port Elliot you will travel along some of the most picturesque coastal scenery on the Fleurieu Peninsula, with nothing separating you from the beach below and a perfect view of the Southern Ocean – in winter the home of Southern Right Whale

                                                                                                                                            Why is this icon journey called the “Cockle Train”? In early days of settlement the local residents would take a horse drawn train to Goolwa to collect Cockles from the sandy beaches near the Murray mouth. It was a great day’s outing and thus gained its name.

                                                                                                                                            Services operate Easter, most S.A. School holidays and every Sunday and Wednesday.
